Old Armenian

Etymology

From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "MIr." is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF. *pēs. Compare Avestan 𐬞𐬀𐬉𐬯𐬀 (paēsa, “ornament, embellishment”), Sanskrit पेश (péśa, “ornament, decoration”) and Gurani پاسە (pāsa), پیْسە (pɛsa, “such; thus, like this”). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *peyḱ-; compare պիսակ (pisak).
